Plain bearings in coolant pumps

Advantages of iglide® plain bearings in this application:

• Resistance to water-glycol mixture
• Silent operation
• High sliding speed in the medium and therefore hydrodynamic lubrication
• Mixed friction during starting/stopping possible
• Temperatures of up to 130-150°C (266-302°F)
• Short-term high speed of up to 2m/s possible in unlubricated condition
• Cost advantage compared to carbon graphite bearings
• Overmolding possible
